Sensory Integration Program

Sensory Integration Therapy is a specialised form of occupational therapy that helps children who struggle with processing and responding to sensory information—such as sounds, textures, movement, sights, or smells. It’s especially beneficial for children with autism, sensory processing disorder (SPD), ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental conditions.Sensory integration process is vital for interpreting sensory stimuli, which supports daily activities, learning, social interactions, and overall well-being. While sensory integration typically develops naturally during childhood, some children and adults may experience challenges that impact their ability to function effectively in various environments.

Common Causes of Sensory Integration Challenges

Sensory integration difficulties can be caused by several factors, including:

  • Neurological Conditions: Conditions that affect sensory processing can interfere with the brain’s ability to interpret sensory information accurately.
  • Developmental Disorders: Individuals with developmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), may experience unique sensory challenges.
  • Sensory Processing Disorders (SPD): These specific disorders can cause difficulties in filtering and responding appropriately to sensory stimuli.
  • Environmental Factors: External factors can sometimes hinder sensory development, impacting the integration process.
